I just thought I would pass this on for the Dj Shadow
fans.

Zack de la Rocha & DJ Shadow Post Anti-War Song
Song reported to feature such dissenting lyrics as
"C-c-c-c'moooowwonn!" and "YETH!"
Zack de la Rocha posted an MP3 of "March of Death"-- a
protest to the Bush administration's Operation Iraqi
Freedom with beats by DJ Shadow-- online on Monday,
March 24th. Expectedly, neither de la Rocha nor Shadow
breaks too much from the Rage template, delivering a
rock-hop skree of fuzz guitar samples and synth
missile sounds over a military march cadence. The flow
is sharp, but vapid. Zack's lyrics could easily be
misconstrued as a pro-war, anti-Saddam rallying cry,
if not for the occasional mention of Texas. Rather
than invoking dread, fear, compassion, or epiphany,
"March of Death" comes off as spiteful, egomaniacal,
and confusing.
Here's what the Losangelino has to say for
his protest:
"Lies, sanctions, and cruise missiles have never
created a free and just society. Only everyday people
can do that. That's why I'm joining the millions world
wide who have stood up to oppose the Bush
administration's attempts to expand the U.S. empire at
the expense of human rights at home and abroad. In
this spirit I am releasing this song for anyone who is
willing to listen. I hope it not only makes us think
but inspires us to act and raise our voices."
